So now dragonborn can swap out dragon breath for dragonfear, and I guess losing the ability to belch out a gout of elemental energy somehow makes you more intimidating? To be fair, I can see where they’re going with this: get rid of one draconic quality and exchange it for another, and the concept has merit. Dragonfear is a daily encounter (errata kplzthx) racial that lets you hit all baddies within 5 squares with a Will attack that makes them take an attack penalty, and grant combat advantage for a turn. Its keyed off of Strength or Charisma, which is good for a lot of classes, but the passive bonus starts at +2 and never scales (MOAR errata?).
Note: I wasn’t satisfied with dragonfear at all at first, because the power is black and not red (meaning that I thought it was a daily power). It wasn’t until I read the Draconic Rejuvenation feat that made me go back and analyze the power block to see that, yep, it’s actually an encounter power. So…I had to rewrite this whole post. XD
